All in a DNA's work : conservation genetics and monitoring of the New Zealand endemic Maui's and Hector's dolphins

Creator:: Hamner, Rebecca Marie
Abstract:: The critically endangered Maui's dolphin (Cephalorhynchus hectori maui) and the endangered Hector's dolphin (C. h. hectori) are endemic to the coastal waters of New Zealand, where their primary threat is fisheries-related mortality. The Maui's dolphin is among the most critically endangered cetaceans in the world, with its remnant population primarily...

Dissolved oxygen requirements of freshwater fishes

Creator:: Doudoroff, Peter and Shumway, Dean L.
Abstract:: This critical review of literature on dissolved oxygen requirements of freshwater fishes is one of a series of papers on water quality criteria, the formulation of which is a prerequisite to the control of water pollution. It was prepared for FAO by the State of Oregon (acting by and through...

Extensive Resource Subsidies by Salmon-Supported Bears to Granivores

Creator:: Shakeri, Yasaman N.
Abstract:: In salmon-rich, northern coastal environments brown bears can occur at high densities and exert wide-ranging effects on ecosystem processes. Bear consumption of seasonally available fruit may provide important seed dispersal services to plants, and by extension, influence the ecology of seed consumers such as small mammals. In this study, we...

Integrating fleets, markets and ocean dynamics : a bioeconomic analysis of the Oregon ocean shrimp fishery

Creator:: Gallagher, Charmaine Marie
Abstract:: Questions relating to economic performance, biological conservation and variation in resource abundance and harvest of ocean shrimp have led to increasing pressure for management action. Developing effective management policies for this highly variable resource requires a comprehensive understanding of the fishery and marine processes. Important factors in understanding the fishery...

Timing of Population Fragmentation in a Vulnerable Minnow, the Umpqua Chub, and the Role of Nonnative Predators

Creator:: O’Malley, Kathleen G., Markle, Douglas F., and Ardren, William R.
Abstract:: We examined the distribution of Umpqua Chub Oregonichthys kalawatseti, an endemic, vulnerable minnow in western Oregon, and whether six ecological populations (based on distribution patterns) had sufficient genetic cohesion to be considered evolutionary populations. We also evaluated the influence of Holocene geological events and recent nonnative predator introductions on the...

Evaluating the Efficacy of Predicting Bycatch Mortality Using Reflex Impairment through an Assessment of Crab Discards

Creator:: Yochum, Noëlle
Abstract:: All animals that interact with fishing gear are not necessarily captured, and all animals that are captured are not necessarily retained. Fishing practices and gear configuration, management regulations, and markets dictate which animals ultimately are retained or discarded. The impact of a fishery and the efficacy of management regulations can...

Conservation and spatial use analyses for the recovery of bighorn sheep in the Peninsular Ranges

Creator:: Ostermann, Stacey D.
Abstract:: The status of wild sheep in North America typifies the plight of many wildlife species in modern times: wild sheep have declined to 10-40% of their numbers during pristine times and on a global scale approximately 31% of Caprine are considered threatened or critical. As human populations and the number...

Systematics, variation, distribution, and biology of lampreys of the genus Lampetra in Oregon

Creator:: Kan, Ting Tien
Abstract:: Based on the number of velar tentacles and the form of longitudinal lingual laminae found in Lampetra (Entosphenus) t. tridentata and its closely related forms, the taxon Entosphenus should not be considered as a genus as commonly adopted, but, along with the taxa Lethenteron and Lampetra, should be regarded as...

Effects of body size on the survival and timing of emigration of newly metamorphosed Northern Red-legged frogs

Creator:: Chelgren, Nathan D.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to investigate the survival and movements of newly metamorphosed Northern Red-legged frogs (Rana aurora aurora) as they emigrated from two ephemeral breeding ponds. Quantifying survival and movement rates will be important to our understanding how changes to terrestrial and aquatic systems affect behavior and...

Benthic biological invasions in two temperate estuaries and their effects on trophic relations of native fish and community stability

Creator:: Castillo, Gonzalo C.
Abstract:: The extent of biological invasions, their role on the feeding of native fishes and their impact on community stability were investigated in Alsea Bay and Yaquina Bay, two estuaries on the central Oregon coast, USA. Most nonindigenous species (NIS) introduced in these intermediately invaded estuaries are considered byproducts of culturing...
